I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a “Skip”/“Don’t remind me again”. Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I’d expect not to be bothered again. It’s really a built in ad more then anything.

    Why are you running updates for beta testers, if you decided to disable as much as you could? Those “Preview” updates will install everything you’re missing and more every time, that’s their purpose.

    Switch to stable updates only, and you won’t have that problem… or at least have it way less often.

      I literally do not have anything extra turned on, including the Insider Program has always been off. Other then automatic updates, so your guess is as good as mine as why “Preview” updates or otherwise would be pushed. It’s not that I’m enrolled in beta or anything.
